Black and white looks good on her.

When Hillary Clinton was a child, she wrote to NASA asking how to become an astronaut. They wrote back saying, ‘girls could not be astronauts..’. So instead, she went on to become LIFE magazine’s Top Four Commencement Class Speakers for the Class of 1969, one of the TOP 100 Attorneys in the United States specializing in Women and Children’s concerns, The First Lady of Arkansas, The First Lady of the United States of America, a Senator for New York, a Presidential Candidate, Secretary of the United States of America and now one of the most influential and powerful women in American History and the world…and these are just to name a few.

How awkward for NASA. 

But so proud of the Mama Bear!

Advocating Progress: You CAN go to Cuba, people

politicalprof:

I keep hearing some version of, “why can Beyonce and Jay Z go to Cuba, and I can’t?”

People, you can. You can go with legal US clearance — which isn’t necessarily easy to get — but you can go.

Or if you’re not into that, go to Mexico. Go to the Bahamas. And then buy a…

FUCK YOU, terrorist assholes. Meet Team Hoyt. Dick Hoyt’s been running the marathon with his disabled son Rick for 31 fucking years. They’re better than you.

I need to move to Argentina.

Try wrapping your head around this one:

mediamattersforamerica:

Over at Fox, Steve Doocy and guest Rich Lowry have started calling people who accept climate change science and are “advocates of limits on carbon emiisons” climate “deniers.” 

In true Fox Newspeak, those who deny denialism are the true deniers. 

Geez…

“As we register to vote — as we walk into the voting booth — we must remember the choice we’re making. One option is a candidate who promises to turn back the clock on women’s rights and our access to health care.
Thankfully, we have a far better option: President Obama, who has consistently stood up for us, for our rights and for our health. It’s a personal choice for each of us, but one that carries consequences for every woman in America.”

“How’s that trickle down workin’ out for ya so far?”

That “trickle down” stuff was nonsense 30 years ago with Ronald Reagan . We’ve seen “trickle down” in action not just in theory.
It. Doesn’t. Work.

Every time someone says Obama has ruined the country, show them this.

….I mean, seriously.  How do people not understand this already?

Paul Ryan, the Republican Party’s latest entrant in the seemingly endless series of young, prickish, over-coiffed, anal-retentive deficit Robespierres they’ve sent to the political center stage in the last decade or so, has come out with his new budget plan. All of these smug little jerks look alike to me – from Ralph Reed to Eric Cantor to Jeb Hensarling to Rand Paul and now to Ryan, they all look like overgrown kids who got nipple-twisted in the halls in high school, worked as Applebee’s shift managers in college, and are now taking revenge on the world as grownups by defunding hospice care and student loans and Sesame Street.
